Jaider Parra is already in Japan

On Monday arrived in Tokyo, Japan, the Venezuelan Jaider Parra, (20-0-1/10 KO’s of 30 years of age) tenth-ranked of the World Boxing Association super featherweight division, and Challenger to the so far undefeated Japanese champion Takashi Uchiyama (19-0-1/16 KO’s of 33 years of age and member of Watanabe Boxing Gym in Tokyo).

The bout will take place on May 6 in Ota City General Gymnasium, where there will be another fight for the WBA super flyweight title, between the regular champion, Japanese Kohei Kono (28-7/11KOs, of 32 years of age from Watanabe Boxing Gym) and the Venezuelan interim champion Liborio Solís (14-3-1/7KOs of 31 years of age) to define the absolute WBA champion.

Jaider Parra took more than twenty hours to arrive to Narita, Japan, coming from their homeland Venezuela. Arriving to the country of the rising sun, Parra confessed us to be tired by the long journey, but that his combative spirit is not diminish at all, said with a confident smile. Also said he met his physical preparations to 100 percent to do something big in Japan.

Here in Japan, far from home, Jaider Parra intends to honor his worthy undefeated Venezuelan warrior caste to overthrow from his throne the powerful Japanese Takashi Uchiyama, who will make the seventh defense of his universal Crown and who recently showed his punching power to the Costa Rican interim world champion Bryan “tiquito” Vasquez, undefeated until then, by TKO in the eighth round in Tokyo on Christmas eve of 2012.

Let’s see if the Venezuelan Jaider Parra is able to defeat Takashi Uchiyama for the first time, whose nickname is “KO Dynamite” with a cold blood boxing as if he were a fighting computer to measure distance and the exact moment to finish his opponent.

Takashi Uchiyama is a keen boxer to decipher his opponents.

Jaider Parra is at war with high moreale to accomplish his mission to make history in Venezuelan boxing with a huge desire of grow in his career.
Should this Venezuelan defeat Uchiyama to become the new champion, it will be the first time in the glorious Venezuelan history.

Jaider Parra is the brother of the former flyweight world champion Lorenzo Parra, who fought in Japan four times, all of them for the WBA title.

When we look at Japanese boxing history we recall the brothers Pedro and Antonio Gómez.

Pedro Gómez and Antonio Gómez both fought in Japan for the WBA featherweight title with the Japanese Shozo Saijyo, who defeaed Pedro Gómez by decision in Tokyo in 1969 in his first title defense, but he was dethroned in 1971 by Antonio Gómez by KO in 5 in his sixth defense failed attempt.

Antonio, younger than Pedro, manages to avenge his brother and become world champion.

Finally Pedro Gómez and Antonio Gómez failed to be the first Venezuelan brothers to become world champions.
